"What's in all these books?" asked Elliot."Lies and misinformation," replied the Librarian. "History books full of inaccurate accounts of bygone days. Boring nonsense, for which I have no patience." (S. 38)

Izabella Taler fragt in der Ausgabe 5 (2008) 4 der Zeitschrift Webology: "LIS Open Access E-Journal – where are you?". Abstract: "Access to published information is of interest to many users. Library and information science (LIS) professionals are especially interested in gaining access and guiding users to all available information. Though they are often dependent on traditional subscription-based library resources, moving away from the costly ones and replacing them with usage of available open access sources, presents practitioners with a significant budget consideration in today's shrinking economy. This paper examines the availability of current LIS open access e-journals; their presence in well- and less-well known abstracting and indexing sources, their inclusion in standard library bibliographic tools as well as coverage by Google Scholar, a computer generated search engine".

"The Policy Studies Organization (PSO), the Oxford Internet Institute (OII), and Berkeley Electronic Press are proud to announce Policy and Internet: the first major peer-reviewed journal investigating the implications of the Internet and associated technologies for public policy. The Internet is now the most important international medium of communication and information exchange, embedded in interactions between citizens, firms, governments and NGOs, and bringing with it new practices, norms and structures. The societal shift enabled by the Internet has major implications for public policy in all sectors, requiring rigorous empirical investigation, theoretical development and methodological innovation across academic disciplines. Policy and Internet is the first journal to fill a crucial gap in policy knowledge and research. It will be the premier venue for scholars and researchers to set the public policy agenda in the digital era". HerausgeberInnen sind Helen Margetts und David Sutcliffe. -- Quelle: OII Newsletter.

Kirk ... swung around in his seat to face Specks, "A very nice presentation - uh, Specks. It answers a lot of questions. ...If you would put that presentation on the library channel, I'm sure the rest of the crew would be interested as well.""Uh - sir? It's been on the library channel since yesterday". Specks looked embarrassed.

"Whenever the Enterprise made rendezvous with any other starship or starbase, or returned to Starfleet Command, the ship’s librarian automatically requested updates and upgrades for all library sections, freely trading whatever unclassified information was requested in exchange. The Enterprise also routinely gathered libraries from other sources as well, particularly from whatever alien cultures they encountered in their patrols" (David Gerrold: The galactic whirlpool. Bantam 1997, S. 81)

"Ms. Fletcher ... might have been a pretty woman, had she not been wearing a pair of hideous horn-rimmed glasses. She perpetually kept her hair up in a bun that was only slightly less tight than the dissatisfied line of her lips. She wore a simple white blouse und a black ankle-length skirt. For her, ist was a daring outfit - the shoes, after all, were maroon". Und jetzt raten, was die Dame von Beruf ist!
